Chu Zheng, not getting a response, darkened his eyes. He tried to hold back but couldn’t: “You said I’m not allowed to listen, made me stay inside alone, and I’ve been obedient. Now you’re treating me like this, senior…”
He turned to face her, holding her hand to his heart, his gaze wounded: “Do you know how much pain I’m feeling here?”
“How much pain?
“Chen Jing raised an eyebrow, with a somewhat cold smile: ‘I just didn’t pay attention to you, and you feel wronged?’
Tightening his grip on her hand, Chu Zheng pursed his lips: ‘…Don’t look at me like that.’ His heart was about to shatter.
Chen Jing scoffed, withdrew her hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
Chu Zheng was stunned, suddenly guessing why she was angry, his face turning pale.
He hurriedly followed: ‘Senior, let me explain…’
Chen Jing’s expression was blank, tried the doorknob, and found it locked. She frowned and stretched her hand to him: ‘Keys.’
Chu Zheng suppressed his panic: ‘There’s nothing inside, just a bit of smell…’
‘I’ll say this one last time,’ Chen Jing’s eyes turned cold: ‘Keys.’
In the end, he gave her the keys.
Chu Zheng stood dejected to the side, the surrounding air seemed infected by his mood.
Chen Jing walked directly into the kitchen.
Chu’s mother sat crouched by the door, hugging her knees in a daze. Since Chu Zheng went out and discovered the door was locked from the outside, she maintained this posture without moving.
Next to her feet was a phone with a black screen, which she had thrown after calling Tang’s parents.”
“Auntie,” Chen Jing crouched in front of her, organized her words, and opened with an apology: “I’m sorry.”
Chu’s mother closed her eyes, didn’t respond, stood up, and walked away silently.
Chen Jing: “…” Sighed.
When he said this sentence, his expression paused for a moment. He raised his eyes to look at her, seemingly observing her reaction. Seeing that Chen Jing’s face showed no unusual color and even smiled at him, he finally felt relieved.
So, the grievance that had been suppressed for a while and dared not be expressed suddenly burst out!
